Stockholm-based Spintop Ventures, a seed-stage venture capital firm, announced that it is expanding by opening a permanent office in Denmark and hiring Jasenko Hadzic as a Principal.
Jasenko comes from Nordic VC BackingMinds, where he focused on investments in SaaS, cybersecurity, and energy.
Jasenko will be based in Copenhagen and will work closely with Spintop Ventures’ senior advisor, Mads Mikkelsen, to further strengthen the firm’s reach in Denmark.
“I’m genuinely excited to join the team at Spintop Ventures, where a founder mentality and hands-on approach are at the core of how we support our portfolio companies. This is reflected in our track record, long-term value creation, and in the investment team itself, where every member brings firsthand experience as either a founder, operator, or executive. In VC, this combination is unique, and I believe we’re well-positioned to be the best partner for the most ambitious teams in the region,” says Jasenko Hadzic, Principal of Spintop Ventures.
With this move, Spintop Ventures aims to support Danish startups and foster the growth of the local ecosystem.
